A critical aspect of being a mainstream thinker, is not only having the wrong mentality, but also barking up the wrong tree.

Post approval isn't the problem, and they never were. The fact that the anthro community is easily distracted by shit forums and boring blogs, that is the problem.

In any case, you want more activity here, you gotta do some of the hard work yourself, and post real threads, good threads, that people want to participate in. Good discussions attract new members more than anything.

Poland has always been an subordinate country, on one side sucking German dick, on the other side -- Russian one, some kind of "novice" europeans, who are full of inferiority complexes, hysteria and obsessity neuroses. This is also true for all Baltic countries

I agree, but nowadays on the forum most of the active members want to get rid of post approval, because most of the active members want a more laidback and less scientific forum. Just look at Game Theory who starts a lot of threads about Blackness, and Odin who only posts memes and pictures in every possible thread. The forum does not have the exact same audience as before. You said once that genetics are the most important thing on the forum, but nowadays few members are interested in genetics.

I'm not joing a new forum where I can't post right away. This forum is low activity anyhow. Does it even attract new people? Why make it hard for them to shime in the discussion? Let them know that their first period here is a trial and that they can get booted without question instead of modding their posts.

Neither will most people. I've had to 2 experiences with these kind of forums this was one and I can't remember the other. Nobody has time to sit around for hours or a day to get their posts approved. Fuck that shit ain't nobody got time for that they're just going to go elsewhere.

Because Elias is a stubborn man who's stuck in an old mainstream way of doing things. I think he's a cool guy and all but he isn't cut out to run or be a FORUM website owner. I've tried giving him advise on how to maybe get things more going around here but isn't trying to hear it.

Bingo! ''Instead of doing things the mainstream way why not try this out?'' Elias : ''No that's not the problem the problem here is.....''

I think post approvals should be kept. There are too many nut cases on here that don't ad anything intelligent. That Paul Essien was one. He actually advocated killing white men. He dosen't seem to be around anymore but people like this should be banned. If newbee posts were unapproved you could get some real radicals on a site like this until they were banned.

Trolls still slipped past. But how hard would it be to get rid of new ones? If we have established members active they will report difficult members and the mods and admins can take their time reviewing those instead of post-checking.

To be honest I don't care that much what is decided, but it would be nice if this place was more open to newcomers.

Get rid of it. Trust me, when I tried to be more active on here, my earliest posts either wouldn't get approved at all, or it would be approve over 15 hours to over a day later. There were times when the discussions would die off while that happened. It better for people to post what they want than delete the obvious trolls than have a forum that takes forever to post new members replies. It a huge turn off.

What kind of members do you want to attract to the forum?

This forum and others like it, in its heyday, were living off the fumes of the tail end of genetics being in a golden age. Genetics forums are not what is hot, right now, since neuroscience is the new 'hotness' basking in the glory of the its new scientific golden age -- it is in the limelight. So much so that Michio Kaku, a physicist, not a neuroscientist, wrote a book "The Future of the Mind"; now why would a physicist do that when that is not his specialty ? I explained it -- neuroscience is the new 'hotness'.

Elias isn't scientific either so how can he run a scientific forum ? He is too concerned with being 'cool', a highschool mindset, not a grownup one, than to realize that math is not autistic but essential knowledge to running a science centered forum :

1.) Physics is the king of the sciences

2.) Math is the Queen of the sciences

3.) Elias thinks math is autistic and not 'cool' so he is unfit to run a science forum

The first thing Michio Kaku did when he realized he wanted to be a physicist was to indundate himself with as much advanced math as possible. The first think Elias did when he figured he wanted to run a genetics forum was smoke a blunt of weed and say "biological magic !". If you understand something it is science if not then it is magic.
